Track 1 has a nice orchestral music, not at all the trance/house style one would have expected from Dune; not too far from the original (of course, without Brian's guitar or Roger's drums). The (female) voice is sometimes a bit thin, but pretty good altogether, anyway.
Track 2 has the same vocals, but with a nice fast hip-hop-/hip-house-like (don't know how to classify it exactly) background (okay, you must like this kind, but I do, somehow...).

The other tracks have little to do with WWTLF; they are (overall nice) house tracks with a few sounds similar to typical Scottish Highland sounds (like synthesized, or electronically altered(?), bagpipes...).
